Qld premier finds lockout support in NSW

Queensland's Labor government is using an unlikely poster boy to justify its push for controversial new lockout laws: conservative NSW Premier Mike Baird.

Mr Baird on Tuesday spruiked his government's lockout laws which have resulted in a 42.2 per cent drop in alcohol-related assaults in Sydney's CBD and a 60 per cent drop in the notorious Kings Cross nightclub district.

His Queensland counterpart, Annastacia Palaszczuk, seized on his comments amid attempts to convince crossbench MPs to support her minority government's own lockout legislation, which is due to be debated in parliament next week.

"The premier of Queensland Annastacia Palaszczuk has not produced evidence."

Mr Bleijie was also quick to attack Labor MP Rob Pyne, who despite initially threatening to quit the party over the laws and the effect they would have on his tourism-focused electorate of Cairns, has since assured Ms Palaszczuk he'll toe the party line.

"I'm getting sick and tired of Rob Pyne," Mr Bleijie said.

"Promising the people of Cairns one thing but as soon as he flies to Brisbane he says something completely different."

Meanwhile, Labor MP Mark Furner, who chaired a parliamentary committee reviewing the laws, accused the LNP of refusing to support them because it received $374,146 in donations from the alcohol industry between 2011-14.

Mr Bleijie said trying to make a donations link was "a real far stretch", while an LNP spokeswoman indicated the Australian Hotels and Hospitality Association donated $171,000 to Labor in 2014/15.

But Labor countered, arguing those donations were made to the party's Victorian branch and, at the same time, the Liberal and National parties' Victorian branches were given $243,149 from the same organisation.
